CANAL FULTON: A piece of Ohio history has survived a muddy threat along the Ohio-Erie Canal near Canton.
The canal boat tourist attraction St. Helena III began its season last weekend, taking passengers along the 19th century canal in Stark County.
Officials worried in recent months that the May-to-August tourism season was in doubt because a stretch of the canal had too much sediment and other debris. But county parks officials and the city of Canal Fulton cleaned it up in time for the season debut.
More than 3,200 visitors took the nearly one-hour trip last year, which covers more than two miles round trip.
From 1827 to 1861, the 309-mile Ohio-Erie Canal was a bustling waterway, carrying freight from Lake Erie to the Ohio River.

I hope the horses are OK and back this year. Anyone know why they were using a tractor to pull the boat last year?

"tourist attraction" what a pathetic term for a ride down a polluted canal, kind of like playing in the toilet if you ask me, what a joke this whole area (Ohio) is.
